> Interestingly there is no product on the markt to collect feature ideas and classify them.

As a dev who's been on HN since 2008, I'd be remiss not to "market more" and plug what I've been working on here! I started Savio (https://www.savio.io) specifically to help B2B SaaS teams collect and classify customer feature requests to help inform prioritization.

It was a pain I've felt for over a decade. So after we sold our last company, one of my co-founders and I decided to solve this problem once and for all.

Here's a guide I wrote that lays out everything me and my co-founder know about tracking and using customer feature requests to drive prioritization (we have 40+ combined years of experience PMing and coding at co's like Microsoft, ESPN, 7 startups, and about a dozen consulting clients).

Sounds like /r/relationship_advice on reddit or any of the many forums where people do post anonymized questions or stories.

Although “tracking” for ads is far less invasive than even that, the only particularly annoying thing is when it bugs out and shows you ads for stuff you just purchased and no longer need, it would be nice if they could track a little better and know once you’ve bought something.
Now you are attempting a full-on burden-shifting approach, but the unsupported claims here are that a unicode view is "fundamentally wrong" and that the proper approach is to operate on raw bytes. You can start on correcting this omission by answering the questions I posed about your claims a couple of posts ago.

Homeless congregate in cities because density improves economies of scale. More shelters per square mile which is important if they fill up fast, more foot traffic for pan handling, more industrial/business areas where they are less likely to be harassed by police, more nooks and cranies to hide from the elements, more homeless people to group up with for safety, and so on.

The vast majority of reasons that homeless people stay in urban areas is the failure of the surrounding areas in providing for their basic survival.

You're under a bright enough limelight as of late, and especially right now, that the administrative overcharge of a reputable accounting firm such as any of the Big 4 may be worth the returns in the form of improved accountability - heh - and donations.

It'd be nice if you could commit to this. If your accountants are lagging by almost 3 months without filing an extension, you owe it to your donors. Blaming the accountants is fine, but in the end, you picked them, and you chose to stay with them.

(The value in the overcharge is really just that you've got a big bullseye you can throw darts at when accountability is required. This doesn't resonate with most entrepreneurs e.g. here on HN - as the greyed out comment alludes :) - but it does with more established firms largely for this reason.)
Even if this is a small fab, it's a win for the USA in a way I don't see mentioned: it creates more fab jobs and experience in the USA. This in turn will improve the employee pool here for this particular skill set.

It also means that if a nightmare scenario happened we'd have a TSMC 5nm fab to reverse engineer China-style.
I think on these topics it's much better to point to, e.g. Wikipedia [1] rather than to a Twitter thread from someone who's essentially copy-pasting from them.

There are a few problems with your logic. First, it only works if you're measured day by day and paid day by day. I don't get paid daily, I think it's most common to be paid bi-weekly.

Second, you still wouldn't be expected to stay late or leave early - you'd simply be paid less.

There's a simple way to set that up. If you performed above the minimum set for you, you wouldn't be fired or warned. If you consistently performed at peak productivity, you'll get a bonus based on how much you produce.

We already do this.

"piecewise linear interpolation"

After having linearly interpolated the points on the curve piecewise, instead of a smooth curve, you now have line segments that connect to other line segments, each point now connected to the next, not smoothly, but linearly, and each of those lines/segments can be optimized by storing only slope and intercept. Yes?

That seems both ingenious and very, very straight-forward. What is the reason behind us not having deployed massive amounts of search indices into the world that were built using this method? Has the drawback of this method been too great?

The drawback to me seems to be the amount of computation needed to produce such an index.
I really want to use Wolt in Berlin, but their delivery area just ends literally 50m north of where I live (Neukölln). Hope they extend it soon :-)
Hmm, I’m not sure I understand your point. Scientists explicitly try to avoid positing magical things, and even when things get into the realm of untestability at our scale, it’s hedged:

“Here’s a cosmological model that might be true given our current data”

Vs

“Here’s a magical anthropocentric religious explanation for anything I can’t immediately explain”

I mean that fundamentally the deserializer has lookup function and it's going to lookup anything it's told to.

You're right, some languages are worse about this, e.g. Python's pickle will perform arbitrary code executions.

But it's easy enough to restrict it to a set of known good constructors. You still have the classic late-binding dilemma: it's flexibility we don't actually want. Why should my find_matching_socks function ever have to worry that it might be passed basketballs?

The usual answer is, "it's fine, it'll just crash if they do that."

It might crash, or it might hang, or silently corrupt something. An attacker can stick the wrong kind of object into your code anywhere they like.
I guess my point was that I'm rather on the side of "Ok then maybe it is still worth finding a serialization format that maps better to my domain, like perhaps that can serialize numbers with the same precision without having to route them through a string and back." This is like claiming that it's not worth comparing programming languages because machine code is Turing complete.

Man, ignore that guys ridiculous comment. If you fix that, he'll just find something else to whine about. It's like all the people bemoaning desktop Linux, when things like KDE have been providing (in my opinion) the best overall desktop experience for more than a decade.

I chose Matrix/Riot years ago over the other options for two reasons:
1) I could host my own if I wanted, and
2) It didn't require any identifying information like telephones.

Maybe the problem is depending too much on active voting rights. I feel that in the netherlands, if you really want to make a change, you have to form a (one issue) party and convince people.

The impact of a single active voter is not big, and especially in a country where there is limited passive voting, e.g, a 2 party country like the US, it is hard to impact a change.

In this sense, US democracy is broken compared to the Netherlands, as there is very little room for passive voting other than being part of a large existing party.
Perhaps the game we're actually playing is generational musical chairs.
Rents in my building in Manhattan have dropped by at least 15-20 pct. Sales prices for condos have gone down (I know people who had to lower prices). Forget both my and your experiences, just look at the median rents and look at any online publication on the topic, even a brokerage report that comes out every quarter.

Manhattan definitely has emptied quite a bit.

The aircraft didn't break apart or anything. The crashes had a specific cause. I don't discount the story about the need for further investigation, and the question of the organizational culture at Boeing, but you're being hyperbolic here.

The former US president certainly helped with that, as his misguided tariffs on aluminium killed Bombardier's C-Series plane. Bombardier had to _give_ it to Airbus so it had a chance to see the light of day. It's now known as the A220.

Not in Alabama. There’s a reason the federal government had to use the national guard to force Alabama to follow Brown v Board of Education and let minorities attend the state college. This was in 1963, less than 60 years ago.

It’s not like the racist people in the state suddenly stopped being racist just because the federal
Government force them to change their most egregious laws.

The latest election, however, the voters did approve to start the process to investigate removing racist language from their constitution.

Dragonflies are pretty ferocious predators of mosquitos where they coexist, and I think I remember reading that dragonfly larvae also prey on mosquito nymphs, although don't quote me on that until I find a cite.

A layer further up, many birds include dragonflies in their diet. And a layer further down, fewer dragonflies means more of everything else they prey on, too.

A couple of solutions seem to try to address this: productboard, ProductPlan, airfocus... There are a couple of more tools to manage feature requests and communicate with customers around them.

I'm also curious to see how these tools will evolve. I haven't used any of them, but from an external POV Productboard seems to have the strongest focus on managing customer feedback and generating product insights, rather than just building and communicating a roadmap.
> even now the Europe BEV efforts are ICE cars with the engine swapped out

You should check out what VW has been doing lately - the ID.3 is an EV-only platform and is selling quite well in Europe - much more impressive than their past efforts.
Good point.

I have a tendency to focus on new-to-me information on a site of this nature, and not notice time since the latest post.

Both are important, although new-to-me is more important.
There are hundreds of millions of people in the world who would happily accept that car instead of what they are using. An old Model S still looks great.
Maybe there's something I'm missing but why are these accounts still not filed electronically? My accountant can do it just fine.

Unless there's a specific reason why these accounts should be done on paper, the more reasonable and cost-effective solution would be to switch to an accountancy practice that isn't stuck in the past and there are plenty of those beyond the "big 4".
If you look at the programs closely, examine who is on the committees overseeing these, and such, you will find what effectively is a friends and family jobs program.

here in Atlanta they just hire each other between city and county. So county leaders get on Atlanta committees and vica versa. People don't understand how ingrained the idea of padding paychecks of themselves, friends, and family, that politicians have turned the system into. government has more than enough money to solve problems but the problem they set about solving was how to enrich themselves, their friends, their supporters, and other party members.

In Georgia tax commissioners have in law the right to sell their services to cities on top of what they are providing by their job title!

The number of political appointment if not elected jobs that pay over 100k is ridiculous and many pay a quarter a million or more per year. Worse this all factors into their public pensions and many can take them before 50.
It's really not a grow only, there you have immutable data but it expires at some points regarding the rules you want to implement.

The integrity of the data is not shared on the network, each user owns his data, and choose to store it on his desired server. It's really like the email system.

For the article, it really joins the conclusion that you could build google doc, or an IOT system or anything but you will inherent from powerful synchronization, encryption, offline mode and so you can ensure the 7 principles the author of the article characterized.

You could just use a cloud to store massively your data, and pass them through a local server to make sure they are not compromised.
I've got same day delivery on certain items on some sites and while it's a nice novelty, I've found it's unnecessary. I'm quite happy (content even) to wait 2 days, as long as it is actually 2 days, and not 1-5 days depending on the position of the moon.

My supermarket offers 4 hour delivery windows that you book about a week in advance, and it's perfect (other than the occasional dodgy swap or missing item). I can work with that. But amazon (for example) offers same/next day delivery, and I'd estimate maybe 10% of my orders are late. That doesn't work if I'm relying on them for food

There is nothing that can grow during fermentation in beer or wine that will hurt you. It will just taste terrible, or unplanned.

In lower abv fermentation such as kombucha or fermented vegetables. Molds can be a risk if the starting medium is not low enough ph, or high enough salinity.
Agreed, city life builds a deep level of culture that will never happen with everyone working remote and moving to less populated areas just so that they can own a bigger house. We need to bring back the starving artists, allow people to take risks in cities by removing these inflated financial burdens. The internet as great as it is primarily promotes exceptionalism where we put most of our eggs in one basket and copy paste type work.

That's still price gouging imho. For the same amount of money you can get 5-10G of transit bandwidth from large carriers.

It is rational if you think you can meet your debt obligations e.g. through a job.

However, the problem with this approach is that your bank account no longer offers "resistance" to spending. It is easy to get into debt that you can never repay. This shouldn't be an issue if you do proper accounting but many people don't do that.

Yes, right now electric vehicles are certainly an "upper middle class" thing. But that's largely because EVs are still new and the "average" person just can't afford to buy a brand new car every few years.

However, in 5-10 years we should start to see a mature market for good quality used EVs, making them much more accessible. At that point, better reliability, better driving experience, much lower operating costs, etc will make EVs the obvious choice for many, if not most, buyers.
Talking to couriers; Wolt being a Finland company with strong morals; operating only in EU. Check their website for estimated payment.

The gig market in Europe isn’t a slavery compared to US. Wolt also has higher delivery prices, which is how they can afford to do this.
In a traditional tree you just store a bunch of y's. So let's say 7 points are just y0-y6. In a tree you would need at least 7 keys stored. In this you would just have m and b stored and you would use the formula to look up the index.

You are right, variable-length strings are difficult. You could try to pack as many characters as possible in a computer word (or in a big int data type), say P characters, and then use the PGM-index to find the strings that share a prefix of P chars with the given query string. I discussed this solution in a GitHub issue (https://github.com/gvinciguerra/PGM-index/issues/8#issuecomm...).
It may work in practice, but it's far from being adequate if compared to trie data structures (and their recent advancements).

Probably a good data point that some of these delivery services are relatively local.

Something like Uber there's an advantage for travelers to have it in a bunch of different places if they already have the app installed. On the other hand, I don't even use Uber once a year locally.

Whereas with food delivery, I don't really have decent options. But, if I did, I would probably use it now and then at home. But I think it's accurate to say that I have never used food delivery while traveling.
I know some computer stores that have that. I can check on the website if a product is anywhere nearby, go for a walk and buy it.

Oh, and IKEA.
In Oslo, Norway, I prefer Foodora to Wolt. Foodora's workers unionized and went on strike about a year ago in order to have sick leave. Meanwhile, Wolt hires their cyclists as independent consultants, circumventing the Norwegian labor laws.

Your first link says the exact opposite of your claim. It says it's legal to store above 30L and below 275L of petrol if you inform the local Petroleum Enforcement Authority.

Even above 275L, it says you need a license - it doesn't say it's illegal.

Fuel does go off, but if you have reason to store it, you probably have a use for it, so as long as you cycle the fuel, you can store an emergency supply indefinitely.

Ask HN: Why is there no 'road closed' option?
Hi, long time reader lurker etc

I've often wondered about this and can't figure it out. Why don't Google Maps and the likes have a way to say: that road is closed! Often it'll keep sending you back to the same road no matter how far away you drive (even in the opposite direction) , because it's much closer than any other way.

But I want to tell it that the bridge is jammed and driving 25 minutes off my path, is better than waiting 2 hours for the bridge to work again. In this example I know that there's another bridge about 7 miles away "in the wrong direction". But I need to cross and this current bridge is not an option.

Why don't they have a button to click, "this road is closed"
